Modern Film Stocks

I just had a couple questions about the new vision 2-3 film stocks. I'm guessing that most feature films today are being shot using the latest ones, but I find them horrible. I work in a cinema and I've noticed that more and more, the movies just seem way too sharp with way too much contrast and hues. It all most seems like film is trying to get the digital look and digital is going for the film look. They don't register lighting well either. Skin tones look glossy, shiny, in obscure light. Just looks really bad. Is it just a post-lab thing for HD or what?

I know kodak has discontinued the vision 1 films to very much disapointment. I was hoping to get my hands on some to shoot my first movie. I really don't want to use the latest stocks. I know it sounds corny, but I really don't mind a bit of grain.

The last few generations of negative stocks are rather low in contrast, not high, so any contrasty look you've been seeing in features is due to digital color-correction. And I don't think the 500T stocks are particularly grainless, not by any means.
